Looking forward to a patch for Witcher 3 (DX12). Can't access the glossary menu without crashing the game and SteamOS, since Proton 8.5. I must use Proton-8.17-GE.
It's happening on my Steam Deck and my all AMD PC running Holoiso or Bazzite. No problem when launched from desktop. It seems to be related to gamescope.
